Bonding Flashcards
What is Ionic bonding?
A Chemical bond is an electrostatic attraction between a positive and negative electrons.
What is Ionic bonding between?
A metal and non metal
What is the structure of ionic bonds?
Giant Ionic Lattice
What is a covalent bond between?
A covalent bond is between two non metals.
How many bonds are needed in a covalent bond between Group 7 elements?
1 bond
How many bonds are needed in a covalent bond between Group 6 elements?
2 Bonds
How many bonds are needed in a covalent bond between Group 5 elements?
3 bonds
What is a metallic bond?
Is a electrostatic attraction between a lattice of positive metal ions and the sea of delocalized electron.
What is a delocalised electron?
Electrons that move around freely
What is a delocalised electron?
Electrons that move around freely
What is the properties of metals?
Can conduct electricity.
Conduct heat
Malleable
Ductile
What are metal alloys?
Mixture of metal and one or more substance
Why are alloys better then pure metals?
Example - Alloys (Steel) and Pure Metals (Iron)
Pure metals are much more soft reducing its uses as it is mixed with more substances meaning stronger bonds.
Describe the structure of atoms in a solid.
Particles are packed closely together
Particles vibrate but cant move around
Describe the structure of atoms in a liquid.
Particles are closed together but can move around.
Describe the structure of atoms in a gas.
Particles spread far apart
Particles move in all random directions.
How does a solid turn into a gas?
Sublimation
How does gas to a liquid?
Condensing
